The Spider
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.[29:64]
What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home
in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew.
* v.64 : Cf. vi. 32. Amusement and play have no lasting significance except as preparing us for the serious work of life. So this life is but an interlude, a preparation for the real Life, which is in the Hereaher. This world’s vanities are therefore to be taken for what they are worth; but they are not to be allowed to deflect our minds from the requirements of the inner life that really matters.
